Painted turtles

joli reflet

Merci beaucoup, Benoit.

Perfectly captured, with lovely reflections.............they look very contented on the log!

Are these native to the area Ronald? We have an old army fort near me with a moat which has quite a few turtles and terrapins...........but it's thought that they used to be pets which people dumped in the moat when they got too big to keep!

Thanks for your comment, Keith. They seem to have been very contented - these two sat on this log for at least half an hour while I photographed other things. They are native from southern Canada to norther México and from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.

Klasse, auch wegen der Spiegelung !

Danke schön, Ingrid.

Schönes Paar - sonniger Platz.
